Ocfs2 users - Oct 2006 - Fragmentation problem: Archive logs on ocfs1 and ocfs2

Hello All,
I have few questions around our use of ocfs1/2 for archive logs on 10G
RAC.

Is there an article out there describing why fragmentation is a special
concern for ocfs1/2?
Are there ways to remove fragmentation short of rebuilding the fs?
Is there a way to estimate how often we will need to rebuild the fs?
Any special tools/packages available to handle this issue?

Regards,
Pradeep.

The fragmentation issue seen in OCFS (Release 1) does not apply to OCFS2.
The only thing in common between OCFS and OCFS2 are the four letters
in the name. ;)
